A BrightID is a personal identifier that allows you to receive rights and benefits based on your ability to prove that you're a unique person.* Unlike a government identifier such as a Social Security Number, a BrightID is self-issued and verified by close friends or relatives. Personal data is not shared with a central organization. To become verified and receive a BrightID score, make connections with the people you already know well. *To see which organizations are participating in BrightID benefits, visit the BrightID website at https://www.brightid.org PRIVACY The name and photo you enter in BrightID are only shared with people in your personal connections list.
